Excellent meal, good service, friendly staff and awsome wine. Ordered the seared tuna, brilliant addition of the wassabi to the mashed potatoes. Will definitely be back.

We stopped by for dinner on a Saturday night. The place was busy (so is the Gecko bar) and there's a good mix of guests. Noise level is high. Service is not exactly fast but it's not a big problem.
We were there as a family and there was so much to choose from so that should not be a problem.
Fritters starters was lacking flavour. Sushi was good but nothing extraordinary. The tuna main course was served as a steak with mash. The wasabi mash was really not nice, the quality of the fish was very good but I needed to use half of a lemon to neutalize the saltiness. Fish curry was great and certainly spicy.
Over all, quite OK but it needs to deliver more to live up to it's reputation.

As per The Harbour Rock restaurant's name, it has a lovely view of the Harbour. Watch locals handline fishing as well as holidaymakers bringing their kids for fishing, whilst sipping on a glass of wine and enjoying the most delicious and fresh sushi!!!
